JAF: Seized quantities exceeded 1.5 million narcotic pills and 100 kilograms of hashish.

JAF: Coordination and integration between the various security agencies and the Armed Forces ensure the thwarting of all infiltration and smuggling operations.

JAF: The prevailing weather conditions did not hinder the readiness of the Border Guard Forces in carrying out their duties.

Jordanian Armed Forces (JAF)– Arab Army thwarted early Wednesday morning "ten attempts" to smuggle large quantities of narcotics across the Kingdom's northern and western borders.

In a successful operation on its northern border, the Eastern Military Zone intercepted "nine attempts" to smuggle large quantities of narcotics using electronically guided balloons. These balloons were launched simultaneously, exploiting the prevailing weather conditions to distract border guard units and evade detection.

Meanwhile, on its western border, the Southern Military Zone thwarted a smuggling attempt using a drone carrying approximately one hundred kilograms of hashish.

Through meticulous surveillance and monitoring, and in coordination with military security agencies and the Anti-Narcotics Department, border guard units in both the Eastern and Southern regions successfully intercepted and downed all attempts at their respective locations. The drones and their cargo were intercepted within Jordanian territory, and the seized narcotics were handed over to the relevant authorities for further action.

The Jordanian Armed Forces affirm that they will deal firmly with anyone who dares to tamper with the security and resources of the nation, and that they will continue to harness their capabilities and potential to maintain the security and stability of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in light of current regional developments.
